This second volume in Lundstrom's account of the naval air war in the Pacific deals with events from after Midway through the Solomons campaign, ending with the dissolution of the "first team" as the US Navy expanded its numbers of carriers and squadrons and so the first cadre of pilots and other aircrew dispersed among larger numbers of newly trained personnel. As with the first volume covering Pearl Harbor through Midway, he provides enormous and valuable detail on plane designs and performance, tactics, and strategy for both the US and Japanese sides. He draws heavily on primary documentary sources from Japanese archives as well as US ones, and yet despite all the documentation and detail this is highly readable history. These are great books, and they are a major reason why he is widely regarded as among the best of the current generation of WW II historians.
